How to put it together

1
Step into the legs of the inflatable raptor suit or your custom scaled jumpsuit.
2
Insert fresh AA batteries into the fan pack and secure the battery box to your waistband or pocket.
3
Zip or fasten the suit completely to ensure an airtight seal around your neck, wrists, and ankles.
4
Turn on the fan switch and wait approximately one to two minutes for the suit to fully inflate.
5
Adjust the clear plastic viewing window for maximum visibility, or put on your raptor mask and claw gloves if using the non-inflatable version.

Makeup & hair

For inflatable suits, your face is hidden or framed, so no makeup is needed. If using an open-face mask, apply dark green and brown face paint around your eyes to blend in with the reptile scales.

Raptor for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair up as a Raptor and a safari park handler wearing a khaki vest and holding a clicker.
group: Gather a pack of raptors to recreate the iconic hunting scenes from Jurassic Park.
kids: Kids can wear plush, zip-up raptor onesies with soft hoods and stuffed tails.
Plus size: Inflatable suits are naturally roomy and fit most body types comfortably up to 6 feet tall.

Tips

Always carry a spare set of AA batteries; inflatable fans typically run for about four hours on a single set.
Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing underneath the suit, as inflatable costumes can trap heat quickly.
Practice walking and turning around in open spaces before your event, as the tail adds extra length behind you.
